Fiesta Former Rental?

I recently rented a car in the UK. Put about 2K miles on it. It was a hard 2k on that car. I in no way was trying to abuse it. But found it difficult to drive on the wrong side of the road. As a result I hit more pot holes, Had a lot more quick starts and harder brakes, than I would have on my own car here at Home.

I was thinking while driving it, boy I sure would not want to buy this car after 100 drivers like me. I don't care how much maintance they do to it. Those were hard miles.

I think this would also apply in the MH world. Probably more so

If you spend enough time in our national parks you run into hundreds of euro tourists in rentals. I have helped countless folks out when it comes to just about every aspect of using their rental rigs. You are correct is assuming that, even unintentionally, these rigs get hammered pretty hard. I have seen a lot of amazing things like dumping the black tank, fire hose style. Rinsing the hose out by swabbing it out with the fresh water hose at the dump station, then immediately pushing the same hose end into the fresh water fill opening. Yea, I dry heaved a bit on that one.

Another interesting thought that probably never comes up when buying a used class C is. "Is this rig still together from the factory, or did you put a new cut-away under the box" We rented a class C a few years back. The Ford portion of the rig was three years old, in nearly new shape, with a massive amount of mileage. The camper portion was obviously a heck of a lot older, and far more worn that the truck. Either the original truck wore out, or it was totaled, but it was clearly a swap job. This unit will eventually end up being resold, and somebody will end up with a stunningly tired outfit.
